His Beloved Ex-Wife

Chapter 642 An Acquaintance. 

Finished 

From a distance, Lysander observed the handprints on his clothes, a rare sight of disarray about him. 

Josiah seemed to sense her gaze on him, and just then, he turned his head to look at her. Their eyes met briefly before parting as he took two steps forward, and then, unexpectedly, he broke into a relieved smile. 

“Yes,” he answered. 

Blaine, noticing Josiah’s refined attire and extraordinary demeanor, quickly realized he was no ordinary man. Blaine then hurriedly approached, saying to the children first, “All right. Let’s not crowd around here anymore. You’re blocking the road.” 

The children were very obedient to Blaine’s words, and they immediately dispersed like a flock of birds

Blaine asked Josiah somewhat nervously, “I am the village chief. May I ask what brings you here? 

“Hello,” Josiah responded in a friendly manner. “I’m here to… Oh! I was entrusted by Central Hospital of Harborbrook to deliver a batch of medical supplies to the health center.” 

After he finished speaking, he moved through the crowd, his gaze landing directly on Lysander. His eyes were filled with an unspeakable longing and concern. He didn’t smile until he’d taken in her whole appearance, ensuring she was safe and healthy. 

Lysander appeared slightly tanned compared to before, but she seemed to be in good spirits, which put 

him at ease. 

Blaine followed his gaze, initially taken aback, then understanding dawned on him. These two are acquaintances! 

Blaine then said with a chuckle, “So, you’re looking for Dr. Thorne.” 

The observing villagers‘ gaze toward Josiah turned especially friendly when they heard those words. 

Josiah didn’t deny it. He simply offered a slight smile and said, “This time, I brought over some common medication for treating colds and fevers. If you need anything else in the future, you can contact Central Hospital, and they’ll arrange for someone to deliver it.” 

The village was not easily accessible, and the funds for the health center were perennially insufficient. Therefore, they had issues when it came to buying essential medicines. 

Upon hearing this, Blaine expressed his gratitude profusely, saying, “Oh, my! Thank you! It must have been Dr. Thorne who arranged this, right? Dr. Thorne, I really can’t thank you enough…” 

Josiah voluntarily opened the trunk of the SUV, revealing plenty of medical kits. He said. “The road ahead is simply impassable for vehicles. Do you have something like a cart I could borrow?” 

“Absolutely!” Blaine, upon seeing the substantial amount of medicine he was about to receive, could hardly contain his joy. His eyes/sparkled with delight as he hurriedly called upon the villagers to fetch the 

carts. 

Josiah removed his suit jacket and tossed it back onto the driver’s seat, ready to roll up his shirt sleeves and lend a hand. However, Blaine stopped him.

Blaine warmly held onto him, expressing his gratitude, saying, “I can’t thank you enough. This is the only health center left open in our village, and we’re always running out of medicine. Usually, when someone has a fever, the doctors have to ration the medicine. But now, we have enough for a while. May I know your surname?” 

A bit taken aback by Blaine’s enthusiasm, Josiah shook hands with him and said, “My surname is Guerra. There’s no need for formalities, Just call me Jose.” 

The plea in his eyes once again sought out Lysander in the distance. 

Earlier, Lysander had already experienced being surrounded by enthusiastic villagers once before. Seeing that he had also felt it, she simply smiled knowingly, as if she hadn’t noticed, and turned around to help the villagers with their medicines. 

Upon seeing that Lysander had not left, Josiah remained by the car, continuing to listen as Blaine showered him with compliments. He was almost embarrassed by the extent of the praise. 

“I should still call you Mr. Guerra. Mr. Guerra, it’s becoming increasingly rare to find responsible companies like yours these days. We’ve had quite a few people come to our village under the guise of charity, promising to donate medicine. They made a show of it for the cameras, made it onto the television, and then they disappeared without a trace.” 

Blaine spoke about those who only knew how to put on a show. He couldn’t help but sigh and say, “If only there were a few more people like you who are willing to get things done…” 

Josiah found himself the recipient of several high praises in a row, his emotions mirroring those of Lysander when she was thanked, inexplicably feeling a bit undeserving. The help he provided wasn’t a big deal to him, so he never expected such profuse gratitude from others. 

Once the adults had all gone to help move the medicine, the children who had previously been shooed away by Blaine curiously gathered around again. 

Josiah told Blaine that he needed to grab something. He then returned to the driver’s seat. When he came back, he was holding a box of chocolates. 

“I didn’t bring much in the way of snacks, just some chocolate that I can share. Consider it a little welcome gift.” As Josiah spoke, he unwrapped the packaging and handed out a piece to each of the children present. 

The children lined up cheerfully to receive their chocolates. They then thanked Josiah politely by addressing him the same way they did before. 

Blaine, with a stern expression, instructed, “Hey! It’s ‘Sir‘ for you kids!” 

The children immediately giggled and promptly started addressing Josiah the way they were told to. 

After Josiah missed his chance to become a father, he developed a fondness for children, treating them with great affection. It wasn’t until he had distributed chocolates to the last child that he finally straightened his stooped back. As for the last piece left in the box, he quietly slipped it into his pocket. 

After the parents returned from picking up the medicine, they saw the children happily eating chocolate. While delighted, they didn’t forget to ask, “Did you say thank you?” 

The children, with chocolate in their mouths, nodded in unison. 

Josiah watched the peaceful scene unfold before him, suddenly understanding why Lysander chose to stay

there. After responding to everyone’s gratitude with a smile, he finally headed in Lysander’s direction. 

After Lysander had finished helping everyone sort and place the medicines, she saw him approaching. Keeping things strictly professional, she said, “Thank you for your donation. These medicines must have cost a pretty penny.” 

Josiah remained silent. His gaze on Lysander was even softer than when the crowd had separated them earlier. He then handed over the chocolate, saying, “I saved this for you.” 

Lysander took it and gave it a look. 

She didn’t recognize the brand. 

It seemed that the text above was in lugrean. 

Upon waking up in the morning. Lysander had been incredibly busy, not even having a moment to take a sip of water. Seeing that he could tell that was the case, she immediately unwrapped the chocolate and began to eat. 

After scrutinizing her seemingly unchanged face since their last meeting, Josiah said, “It seems you’ve been doing well here these past few days. 

Lysander nodded. “It’s decent and quite fulfilling 

“Okay.” Josiah then explained, “I know you didn’t want me to come and wanted some time alone, but I couldn’t help worrying. Apart from me, the elders at home are also concerned. Hence, I waited for more than ten days before coming.” 

Lysander, with chocolate in her mouth, couldn’t speak. She simply gave a faint nod 

After noticing that their conversati 

seemed to have ended, Blaine took the initiative to approach them. “Mr. Guerra, it must have been a long journey for you. You must have set out early in the morning, right? Since our village doesn’t have any sort of hostel, why don’t you come to my place to rest first?” 

In their culture, only the most esteemed guests were invited to their homes upon first meeting. 

After expressing gratitude for Blaine’s kindness, Josiah gently declined, saying, “I think I’ll head over to Dr. Thorne’s place. There are some things I’d like to discuss with her.”
